Dear Peter,
I recall having seen two pictures of the Hilton mine in Raistricks &
Roberts (1984).
Plate 84: Dressingfloor +crushing mill & waterwheel
Plate 150: Old paraffin fired steam tractor in front of what looks like
the mill.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Philip
Ps. Hope to visit Nenthead again this summer, I fancy another trip down
smallcleugh...
